Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

Great fun - needs some tweaking

Reviewed by: Jenny, 2012/10/07

This tour would have gotten 5 stars but for the tour guide whom we thought was not very good.
It's a 6 hour tour, comprising a hike through the jungle to Manoa Falls, and a bike down the Tantalus road with the spectacular views of Honolulu.
Pickup: was on time and easy in a minibus.
Boots: We had to prebook boots to trek the muddy trail, I booked boots from Australia (different size to US) and asked co. to check my sizings. Mattias, the guide, threw boots off car roof and random people took them to try. He didn't know whos boots were whos. Two of my family's boots were split letting water and mud in, defeating the purpose. My boots were taken by someone else, and I was left with too small boots. Mattias said I didn't book 'womens' size. ?? huh??and was unconcerned with my problem.
Trail: We were given water and trail mix, and a waist bag, and insect spray, which I thought was great. The trail was on private land and The jungle walk was lovely. It was extremely muddy, but had

Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

Awesome !

Reviewed by: Vicky & Bryce Cooper, 2012/07/22

Book this tour - if you love the outdoors and want a 'real experience' you will not be disappointed.

The bike ride is a great way to see the sights and is very relaxing. The bikes are very easy to ride and is mostly downhill.

The Hike allows you to get out of the concrete jungle and commercial centre of Waikiki, but be warned this is not a gentle 'stroll' this is a decent bush walk around 2 hrs, so make sure you read the recommended 'what to wear' list that is on the voucher. You will walk through a real rain forest and learn about the unique forest of Oahu along the way, so don't let a little mud scare you.

The boat ride and snorkel is a magical way to end an action packed day. Gear is provided. It was refreshing that the boat was not packed to capacity, and again was a 'real' experience. We swam with turtles and then sailed back to the marina, this was also a great way to see Waikiki from the water.

This was a very refreshing tour and a highlight of our trip. It was gre

Rain Forest Hike is MUDDY!

Reviewed by: Clara, 2012/07/06

I wish there had been a more specific statement regarding the hike that you may get very muddy! They did have rain boots but you needed to have high socks so you wouldn't get blisters.
I didn't have the socks so ended up wearing my tennis shoes - there was no avoiding the mud - I had mud up to my knees - mainly from splashing - mud wasn't that deep.

There were lovely flowers and going in the midst of a banboo forest was amazing. We did see a poisonous tree frog - beautiful bright green and black.

The bike ride was a breeze literally and the half way stopping point has an amazing view of Honolulu!

The catamaran was a lot of fun - they knew exactly where the turtles come to get cleaned up by the fish - we saw 3 different sized turtles.

Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

One of the highlights of my trip

Reviewed by: Marc Lubowiecki, 2012/04/19

My wife found this trip online and thought it would be fun. Was she ever right about that. The bike ride was outstanding. The staff was great, making sure that everyone in the group was comfortable with the bikes and ready for the ride. It was an easy downhill trip, but the views were awesome. After the ride and some lunch we headed off to hike. This was my favorite part of the day. The trail was a bit tougher than I expected, but it was so worth it. Mattius, our guide, made the whole trip so much fun. Hiking through the rain forest to the waterfall was just beautiful. The trail through the bamboo forest was awesome as well. I can't recommend this trip highly enough. I will be spreading the word to all of my friends who plan to visit Oahu.

Oahu Bike and Hike Tour

Reviewed by: Perry Klahr, 2011/07/28

My family (wife and 2 teenagers & I) did the bike and hike tour last week. Our excursion lead was Mateais and he was very knowledgeable, friendly and somewhat entertaining with his canned one liners that he's been working on for quite a while. The tour started with a bike ride (mostly downhill) in a very scenic neighborhood with great view of downtown and into the valley. The hilight of the tour was the hike into the rain forest. It was quite a kick being able to get lost so close to civilization on a path that not many people have been on. The hike was not strenuous and the rain forest definitly lived up to its name. Recommend you wear the rain boots they offer as its is very wet at times and muddy in parts. The path was scenic taking you through deep brish, through small streams, up to an isolated waterfall and then through a mile long stretch of a bamboo forest. The kids & I enjoyed doing something unique on Oahu and they have told me this was one of the hilights for them and some

Best activity in Oahu !

Reviewed by: Alicia & Steve, 2011/06/26

My husband and I did the hike bike tour with Jeremy and it total exceeded our expectations! Not being olympic athletes, more like weekend warriors, we were a little apprehensive about the hike. It was amazing! He paced it well. He
stopped to let us taste some of the local plants and to point out the rare foliage in the rainforest. Our return hike included a rare trail through the dense bamboo forest. Absolutely amazing!! Finishing the day was a relaxing down hill bike ride with some of the most amazing views of the island. Would recommend this activity highly! Oh by the way, wear old hiking shoes/sneakers it is very muddy in the forest.

Great fun!!

Reviewed by: rick, 2011/03/08

If you like outdoor activites, this is the one for you. The staff was friendly, efficient and made the excursion fun for everyone. The hike through the rainforest was beyond my expectations. Hike up to a 200 ft waterfall and back down through a bamboo forest. Great fun! Finish with a relaxing downhill ride on a mountain bike stopping for lunch on a hill overlooking waikiki and diamondhead in the background. A great change of pace from the usual beach/shopping activities on Oahu. Take my advice and do this excursion.

Honolulu Downhill Bike Tour, Secret Waterfall Hike & Waikiki Snorkel Sail Combo

What a Treat

Reviewed by: Stephanie, 2011/01/14

If you only have time to do one hike while in Hawaii, I suggest this one. Hiking through a rainforrest is something you'll never forget. Part of the hike is on a path and part of it your guide is creating for you, Our guide Mattias is very fun and knew all about the history of the area.

The bike ride was an adventure and thank God DOWN HILL! Your so busy concentrating on the road you don't get to see much of your surroundings, however we did stop for lunch at a beautiful overlook of the city.

This adventure is highly recommended, but only if you don't mind a little mud.

Thanks for the good time!!!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: Mike, 2010/06/20

Our bike and hike tour was amazing. I wish I could rate this higher than 5 star. Matis (sorry for the spelling) did an amazing job along with the other guides. Everything was done 1st class from the pickup to the drop off. I just wish on our 1st trip to Hawaii in 2008 that I would have discovered this. The views were picture perfect. We were given plenty of time to take pictures, relax, and have a great time. This was definetly the best part of the trip.

Excellent Ride.

Reviewed by: Jon & Denise., 2009/12/17

From being collected from and dropped of at our hotel, our guide Jeremy made us feel entirely comfortable and at home.
We are intermediate riders and did not find the ride exceptionally challenging.
However having said that, the ride was quite spectacular with some breath taking views. We found our guide to be informative, professional and knowledgeable.
His understanding of the history, culture and inhabitants of Oahu and what pertained to the area in which we were riding, was quite intriguing.
We would highly recommend this activity to beginners and intermediate riders alike.
When we return next year we will most definitely be taking the ride again.
Thank You once again, it was a lot of fun.

Reviewed by: JayandAdrienne, 2009/06/17

Staff is very friendly. Jeremy and Kalani (I prob spelled his name wrong) were very knowledgeable, helpful. There was and older gentleman on the hike who had issues with heat exhaustion, and Jeremy even took off his t-shirt to help the man, that maybe shouldn't have been on the hike in the first place. It was great that we had the same two guides during throughout all three excursions. There are only two things they don't tell you before you go. One is that the hike is a real hike, not just a stroll through the woods, and bit challenging for someone who would become winded from climbing stairs. lol We were able to do the hike with no problems, but its just a word of advise. Second there is only one port-a-potty available at the beginning of the day, so make sure you go before it starts. But don't worry you will sweat out most of the water lol. You won't have access to another bathroom until the start of the snorkel. Other than those few surprises we had a wonderful time and everythi

Great day of events. For me the sailing portion made the day very long. I would not recommend all three in the future.

The hike and biking experience was awesome. Some of the guides on the boat were not as friendly or welcoming as I experienced on my other excursions. Kind of put a damper on an otherwise good experience.

The hike was wonderful, something different from the beach. The guide was informative and we had an enjoyable time. However, the bike ride was rather slow. We were accomplished bikers and had to wait many times for slow people to catch up. It would have been more fun if they had divided the group up and let the fast ones go,go,go.

The great Bike Tour

Reviewed by: Kazuya, 2009/02/06

I've really enjoyed this bike tour.
It seems to be suited for beginner or intermediate.

If you are intermediate biker, don't miss the upper class course that you can request to the guide.
There are lots of bush, rock and the crossing point of the creek.
It's so fun!
You feel more fulfilled.

And Jereny, the guide was so nice guy.
He told us not only the course but also many histories about the ranch.

We did the all day activity and it was terrific. My husband and I took our 17 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter with us and even they had a good time. My daughter liked the hike, especially the mud, and my son liked the bike ride down. We all enjoyed the snorkeling. We saw 3 giant sea turtles and a couple different types of fish. I highly recommend motion sickness pills if you aren't use to a boat ride. Our guide Jeremy was the perfect guide. I would definitely recommend this activity to families.

Well worth it

Reviewed by: Larry, 2008/05/31

Our family did the Hike, Bike, Sail and Snorkel Tour and had a great time. It gave us a great blend of three different ways to see the island - hiking the rain forest, biking down the mountain (getting a GREAT view of Diamond Head and Waikiki during our lunch break), and snorkeling just off the coast.

Our tour guide, Jeremy, was fantastic. He was very personable and knowledgeable. My 10 year old son, enjoyed hiking and biking right by Jeremy and asking a TON of questions. And Jeremy did a superb job of answering all of his questions, never being bothered by them.

My family would definitely recommend this tour (all three parts) to anyone.

Best thing I did in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Ed, 2007/11/16

After suffering through hokey luaus and the miserable submarine and magic shows, we went on this tour and it absolutely made our trip. The rainforest hike was unique, as expected. The tourguide had everything thought out for us: we were provided with rubber boots, food, water, waist packs, and water bottles.

The downhill bike portion of the day made for some great views and excellent photo ops. We took a picture of us holding hands with the entire coastline visible about 5 miles behind us and lots of ocean behind that.

The highlight of the trip was the sailing and snorkeling during which we (both first timers) played among a school of fish, got up close to sea turtles, swam to the coral reef about 25 feet down, and enjoyed a trip a mile or so offshore. As we sailed back in, we saw dolphins swimming beside the boat. We saw more sea life during this trip than during the entire submarine tour.

The tour guide was totally helpful and fun to talk to at the same time. We'd do t

This was one of our favorite activities in Oahu. Matthias was our guide and he was so knowledgable about so many of the things in the rain forest. Knee-high rubber boots supplied by the tour are a must. . the hike goes into the rainforest ending at a waterfall and the passage out is thru bamboo. Bike ride was easy but great scenery. Mark meet us with the bikes and helmets and followed Matthias and the group down the mountain. Lunch was enjoyable and the snorkel part was relaxing and fun with Liz and Jocelyn as our boat "captains". Matthias was with us and the first one in the water to show us sea turtles and fish.
